About the Clinic: 
This Spring, the Religious Liberty Clinic will once again enroll 6-8 students in a seminar-style class that will include active, supervised practice in cases protecting religious liberty rights. Clinic students will participate in amicus briefs, appeals, and advocacy to advance religious liberty.

Interested rising 2L and 3L students can apply to the clinic by sending the following to Linn Griffin (linn.griffin@pepperdine.edu): (1) resume and (2) short statement explaining interest in the clinic. Applications are due by April 24.
